Vector Trailer-Mounted Units

Portable yet Powerful: The Benefits of a Trailer-Mounted Machine

When people think of Vac•Con® they usually envision one of our large, truck-mounted machines that are the easiest to spot in the field. Though truck-mounted machines are where we got our start, we are now a game-changer in the realm of trailer-mounted units.

In 2012, Vac•Con acquired Vector Technologies, Ltd., a well-known and celebrated manufacturer of trailer-mounted equipment with over 40 years of experience. This acquisition expanded our product portfolio and customer base.

Trailer-mounted machines are a great option for a range of users and projects. Don’t think that just because you will need a vacuum or hydro-excavation machine that you will have to look into a truck-mounted option. Trailer-mounted is becoming the way to go for many users.

Below are several benefits of trailer-mounted units, and roles that they can play in the field.

Ideal Projects

Urban Areas

The size of trailer-mounted units is ideal for use on jobsites located in small, confined areas usually seen in populated, urban areas. Operators are able to function at full-capacity without causing additional disruption in the area.

The Perks

Size

Clearly trailer-mounted units are a fraction of the size of truck-mounted options. This compactness fosters a range of perks including compatibility to work on confined, tight jobsites (think urban areas) and easiness of transportation and relocation.

Resource Management

Trailer-mounted units have the option to discharge material directly into a dump truck, dumpster or container, allowing you to stay on the job without needing to clear a debris tank.

Economical

Trailer-mounted machines are less expensive than their truck-mounted counterparts, which require a truck chassis and wide range of components. Trailer-mounted units are also efficient on the jobsite, though their debris tanks are a smaller size.
